Animals, including humans, douse electricity to carry messages from the brain to the muscles, but there was no electricity in the dead frog. With his reputation on the line he tried lots of experiments with frogs, without proving anything. Bravely or foolishly, he published his findings anyway. When Alessandro Volta saw the claims about animal electricity, he couldn't believe it. He had been tinkering around with various kinds of metals in attempts to create electricity, but he had not made much progress. Still, he was sure that Luigi was wrong that a dead frog had electricity in it. So Alessandro told him so. And Luigi shared his feelings that Alessandro Volta did not know what he was talking about. They were instant rivals. That rivalry motivated Alessandro, who set out methodically to Geate animal electricity without the a the beginning of the next 18th century, to be exact 1800 Volta stacked zinc discs and copper discs separated by cloth soaked in acid, and it produced the first steady source of electricity known, which was Iconverting chemical energy into electrical energy formed. Previously, the only sources of electricity had been lightning oF the static discharge from rubbing a carpet or animal fur.

Popular Mechanics 9 Things That Didn't Happen to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 The evidence is mounting that a deliberate action by someone on board and disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. But over the past week and a half since the plane vanished, as contradictory information came in from various sources, people floated plenty of crazier ideas about the plane's fate. By Loshua 8. Kiech ga Meret 18, 2074 3:90 5M TEXT SIZE: Iranian Terrorists Stole (or Blew Up) the Airplane You can't blame the United States for hearing about a missing jumbo jet and immediately thinking “terrorism.” Only hours after MH370 went missing, Tumors began to circulate that two Iranian nationals aboard the flight had been traveling with stolen passports, as did speculation that these passengers pointed to an Franian terrorist plot, Now itlooks as if they were just two guys traveling wilh stolen passports. Interpoli~\ ind did not find any evidence that linked them to a terrorist group. As Ronald K. Noble, secretary general af inierpol, told The New York Times, “The more information we get, the more we are inclined to conclude it is not a terrorist incident.” How Foo YeeniGelty Images, The Passengers are Safe ... and Taking Calls Perhaps the saddest—and eeriest—Flight 370 theory is that the passengers are safe but unable to answer their cellphones. When the airplane first went missing, several of the passengers’ families announced that their loved ones’ mobile phones rang repeatedly, instead af gaing straight to voicemail. Add that to reports that the passengers’ instant messaging accounts remain online and active. and some began to suspect that the passengers were alive, albeit with spotty Internet access. Although we'd like to believe that the 227 souls aboard MH370 are alive and well, the phantom cellshone theory has been !. Even if a phone is completely destroyed, a few rings on the caller's end are fairly typical while the network searches for a connection, Jeff Kagan, a wireless analyst told NBC News. Chinese Satellites Found the Wreckage One of the most promising leads so far was the rumor that Chinese military satellites hae 22-727 = is news spread like wildfire last week. only to fizaie just as rapidly, Malaysian cfficiels announced that the Chinese images did not contain signs of debris, and that search planes have already scoured this region of the South China Sea, to no avail The World's First Cyber Hijacker Is in Control zara 2 Things That Dict Happen to Malaysia Alin Fight 70 Paptar Macharves This week a theory has gained traction that a malicious hacker inftrated the airplane's electrical system, ‘echoing earlier technology consultant who announced last year that he could theoretically cisable an aircraft wth a cellphone, tts a wild theory, and one thal would fundamentally change how we view cyber security. But the =» “'s3 that a hacker could gain control over a passenger jet. "The hacking technique described during a recent computer security conference dees noi pose a flight safety concem because it does not work on certified flight hardware," the FAA said in an official statement it released AMeteor Hit the Plane Hy of a meteor strike after noting that a meteor had been reported in the area around the same time that Flight 370 took off. The odds of a meteor taking out an airplane are pretty slim, and, ironically, the odds of being hit by a meteor are less than the odds of dying in a plane crash. Just Another Zionist Plot Unaware that they were citing a s27r'c2 *2s:, conspiracy theorists have been promoting the theory that Israeli intelligence blew up Flight 370. S-o0=s caucht 2° and debunked the rumor, but that didn't stop ‘some people from taking to social media to prove that the Mossad had performed yet another vicious (if not terribly covert) assassination. Missing Engineers and Their Invisibility Cloaks Amidst tired conspiracy theories that point fingers at the iluminati, aliens, and the Mossad, one novel take on the missing flight caught our attention. Last week skeptics discovered that 20 of the missing passengers on board Flight 370 were engineers at Freescale Semiconductor, @ technology firm that develops components for military aircraft weapons systems. 7 MH370 is cloaked, as part of either a wacky publicity stunt or a very sophisticated terrorist plot. Although stealth technology could theoretically render an airplane invisible to radar, we're not convinced. Business associates often travel in groups, and Freescale Semiconductor has issued a statement expressing grief aver the loss of its 20 employees. An Elaborate Insurance Fraud When a house catches fire, insurance companies investigate for signs of arson, But when 2 plane goes missing, how many insurers cry foul? Last week Malaysian officials investigated the insurance policies of each passenger on board MH370, searching for signs of recently purchased life insurance as a motive for suicide. Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar has “ci “led ut an elaborate insurance scheme, although we have no indication that any one passenger is suspected. While Malaysia claims to be examining all leads, we are fairly confident (read: hopeful) that one passenger didn't murder some 240 people to collect on his life insurance policy.
